    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the clear yet balanced Armagnac and Port cask influence: fresh apple and pear on the nose, with spices, light dark chocolate and leather on a woody, slightly sweet palate. Described as round, elegant and very drinkable, it finishes wood-forward without the casks overpowering the agricole core. A limited release of 1260 bottles from Saint James, well-regarded in 14 community reviews.

    Goûté au rhumfest Paris 2025 . Ce rhum m a laissé une belle impression. Je l ai trouvé assez rond. Le passage en fût Porto et armagnac apporte de la gourmandise fruits sec , le boisé ne domine pas. Un peu de épices. Un bon tarif pour les amateurs d agricole assez gourmand.

    Sample tasting. On the nose quite fresh and juicy with apple and pear, light marzipan especially in the beginning, quite flowery, young wood, light leather, Port also brings light chocolate. On the palate I get wood, leather, spices, light dark chocolate, apple. Very woody aftertaste. I have a feeling the rum is stronger than 46% would suggest. Saint James never dissapoints, great blending experiment.
